Wew, fun time to jump in this thread and post my Simgot EA1000 review available
here.
I found it to be excellent for the price with a surprising amount of technical performance for a single DD (noting it has the passive radiator obviously).
The speediness of the bass was also very impressive and it worked very well in my books with EDM.
Shout out to
@Damz87 for arranging the Australian tour of these bad boys
Jumping on board with very brief initial impressions. I've only been listening to these for a an hour or two.
EA1000 is a genre preferential IEM. I initially loaded my usual classical crossover, acoustic vocals and it was... underwhelming. Airy, spacious soundstage, musical vocals ... the EA1000 is not. Nor does it pretend to be a multi-kilobuck UM IEM.
These are small, single DD IEM's. As such, fit and tip choice are dependent on your own anatomy. I had some initial difficulty finding a comfortable fit and seal.
Once dialled in, they EA1000 are great fun.
Load up

It's one of the most head bopping IEM renditions of this track I've ever heard.
Move on to trance/EDM and
https://tidal.com/track/343131767?u and it's a very capable IEM. I'm very much enjoying the rest of this album as I type this.
The soundstage is still closed, layering and separation are not strengths. But an IEM for the gym with DD bass that literally punches above its tier for $220US?
#conflict of interest: First Simgot I ever heard. It's on tour courtesy of
@Damz87. I don't know much about the brand. And I will be handing it over to the next person on tour.
#edit: I've now had a longer time with these.
Paired to Hugo2, the Simgot scale nicely. Soundstage opens up with the Hugo2 though I wouldn't call it expansive.
The small size of the EA1000 meant tip rolling was difficult ; as my usual tips (W1, Azla) came across unusually lean and bright and probably weren't the ideal fit (may need to size up).
The stand-out for me that I recall is the EA1000 bass reproduction. Fun, engaging, impactful with quality sub and mid-bass reproduction for the price point.
